NEW YORK (PRWEB) January 11, 2021 Library Journal (LJ) has named Elaine R. Hicks, Stacy Brody, and Sara Loree, founder and co-leads of the Librarian Reserve Corps, as its 2021 Librarian(s) of the Year. Hicks, Research, Education, and Public Health Librarian at Tulane University, New Orleans, rapidly created the Librarian Reserve Corps (LRC) in response to the World Health Organization’s need for timely, accurate, and searchable material about COVID-19. Brody, Reference and Instruction Librarian at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Bethesda, MD; and Loree, Medical Librarian at St. Luke’s Health System, Boise, ID; quickly rose into leadership roles in the organization, helping hundreds of volunteers organize information on the pandemic for those who need it most. Since March, LRC has vetted, indexed, and helped disseminate tens of thousands of health resources about the SARS-CoV-2 novel coronavirus for medical and health professionals, humanitarian organizations, researchers, and the public.
